| 20100303086 | Scalable Multi-Hop Mesh Packet Switch Fabric - The present invention provides a multi-hop mesh fabric that allows existing systems to be more effectively scaled to increase bandwidth and the number of nodes within the fabric. The multi-hop mesh fabric also provides redundancy for each of the connections between nodes. The multi-hop mesh fabric may be realized in various different architectures including the maximum number of hops within the fabric and the layout of the fabric (e.g., full mesh vs. sparse mesh). The multi-hop mesh fabric may further improve its efficiency by employing various load balancing techniques, different scheduling methods, and other traffic management technologies known by one of skill in the art. Furthermore, the multi-hop mesh fabric may be realized in different environments including intra-devices, inter-device intra-blade, intra-blade intra-system, and inter-system intra-cluster. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110004700 | PROVIDING ACCESS TO CLIENT OVERHEAD WHILE TRANSPARENTLY TRANSMITTING THE CLIENT SIGNAL - A method includes receiving client data; extracting overhead data from the client data; mapping the client data into one or more frames, where each of the one or more frames has a frame payload section and a frame overhead section, where the client data is mapped into the frame payload section of the one or more frames; inserting the overhead data into the frame overhead section of the one or more frames; transporting the one or more frames across a network; extracting the overhead data from the frame overhead section of the one or more frames; recovering the client data from the one or more frames; inserting the extracted overhead data into the recovered client data to create modified client data; and outputting the modified client data. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110004802 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT BASED ON A BIT ERROR RATE DERIVED FROM A FRAME ALIGNMENT SIGNAL - Consistent with the present disclosure, circuitry may be provided in an optical receiver that can determine a bit error rate (BER) associated with an incoming signal by dividing the number of errored bits in a frame alignment signals (FAS) by the number of bits in the FAS. Accordingly, although an optical signal may be severely degraded and forward error correction (FEC) cannot be performed, a BER may be obtained if the FAS can be identified. The BER can then be used in a feedback loop to control various optical or electrical components in the receiver to improve or reduce the BER to a level, for example, at which FEC can be performed. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110075549 | FAST PROTECTION PATH ACTIVATION USING CONTROL PLANE MESSAGES - A method, performed in a network that includes a group of nodes, includes identifying a path through a set of the nodes, where each node, in the set of nodes, has a data plane and a control plane; establishing a control plane tunnel, associated with the path, within the control plane of the nodes in the set of nodes; establishing a data plane tunnel, associated with the path, within the data plane of the nodes in the set of nodes, where the data plane tunnel is associated with the control plane tunnel and established through the same set of nodes; and transmitting a control message through the control plane tunnel to change a state of the data plane tunnel. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20100284894 | HOT SOLIDS PROCESS SELECTIVELY OPERABLE BASED ON ITS PRIMARY PURPOSE - A hot solids process selectively operable for purposes of generating at least one predetermined output based on what the specific nature of the primary purpose of the hot solids process is for which the at least one predetermined output that is selected from a multiplicity of predetermined outputs, such as H2 and CO2, is being produced, and wherein such primary purpose of the hot solids process is designed to be pre-selected from a group of primary purposes of the hot solids process that includes at least two of the generation of H2 for electric power purposes, the generation of SynGas for electric power production as well as for other industrial uses, the production of steam for electric power generation as well as for other uses, the production of process heat, the production of CO2 for agricultural purposes, and the generation of a feedstock such as H2 for use for the production of liquid hydrocarbons. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100288678 | HOT SOLIDS PROCESS HAVING AN OUTPUT SUITABLE FOR THE INPUT TO A PETROCHEMICAL PROCESS - A hot solids process wherein a predetermined output, which is designed to be suitable for use as an input to a petrochemical process, is capable of being generated through the use of the hot solids process. The mode of operation of such a hot solids process is designed to be such that preferably a portion of the otherwise normally unusable product output, which is produced from a petrochemical process, is designed to be utilized as an input to the hot solids process for purposes of generating from the hot solids process the predetermined output that is suitable for use as an input to a petrochemical process. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100290975 | HOT SOLIDS PROCESS SELECTIVELY OPERABLE FOR COMBUSTION PURPOSES AND GASIFICATION PURPOSES - A hot solids process operable selectively for combustion purposes and gasification purposes wherein a pre-identified product is selected from a group of products to be generated through the use of the hot solids process. Based on the nature of the pre-identified product, which is to be generated through the use of the hot solids process, a specific fuel from which the pre-identified product is capable of being derived is selected from a group of fuels. Then, from a group of reactors there is selected a first reactor, which is operable for generating in the first reactor the pre-identified product as an output from the first reactor. Thereafter, from a group of reactors, there is selected a second reactor, which is operable for effecting in the second reactor the conversion of air and of a predetermined carrier selected from a group of carriers to produce a predefined output from the second reactor. | 11-18-2010 |
